Winter, Mark 1958-: [NCEA in the firing line.] 9 May 2011
Date: 2011
From: Winter, Mark, 1958- : Digital cartoons published in the Southland Times and other papers
By: Southland times (Newspaper)
Reference: DCDL-0017787
Description: A bewildered bird representing 'NCEA' is targeted by several guns. A second version has the bird representing 'NCEA credibility' and saying 'I'll give it a shot'. A third version lacks the 'I'll give it a shot' comment and a fourth version has all the guns going 'click, click, click' as the safety catches are released and the bird observes 'They've clicked!' Context - This may be explained by the following quote - 'Some of the country's bigger high schools are cancelling more than half their pupils' NCEA enrolments - and some admit it's because the children aren't going to make the grade. In Auckland, the Education Ministry says it received two complaints about students being withdrawn last year. Amid claims that some schools are boosting their results by "credit cleansing" struggling students, Secondary Principals' Association president Patrick Walsh said the New Zealand Qualifications Authority should investigate "to maintain the credibility of NCEA".

Description: An arm representing 'School Charters' stretches out holding it its palm a skull that represents 'National Standards'. The owner of the arm says 'To be included or not to be included... that is the question'. A second version has the words 'Numb skull' top left of the cartoon. Context - The imagery used is that of Hamlet in his 'To be, or not to be, that is the question..' NZEI president Ian Leckie said the protesting schools believed setting targets for student achievement using national standards would produce unreliable information and were sticking with the trusted and evidence-based assessment data they had always used. More than 100 defiant schools today submitted school charters without the required references to the new national standards. Minister of Education, Anne Tolley said it was ''a silly political stunt'' and children would suffer for it.
